The Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, United Kingdom branch is demanding for fair trial and
judgment based on facts, evidences and logic, in the case involving
their leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr Nnamdi Kanu, saying that
the case will make or mar Nigeria’s image in the international

The group in a statement made available to newsmen in Nnewi, praised
what it called “Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court Abuja’s

Native inhabitants who wished to succeed under direct rule had to adopt the values and lifestyle of the ruling power. They had centralized administrations, usually in urban centres that stressed policies of assimilation. Direct rule also used the strategy of "divide and rule" by implementing policies that intentionally weakened indigenous power networks and institutions.
